nirix5Seriously. Who the fuck does the president think he is, pushing back CSI for a dumb "press conference"? Because, you know, he answers questions off the cuff all the time. Yep. Constantly.
Interesting insider random bit o' knowledge: When Georgie deviates from his scripted speech, his press/speechwriter people call it "going off the ranch." My public speaking teacher has a friend who works for the press corps, and her job- this is incredible, it's her main reason for working there- is to yell "YOU'RE OFF THE RANCH!" at him when he practices his speeches and starts to ramble.
Obviously she's doing a good job. He didn't go off the ranch last night, although no one laughed at his jokes.
...Eh. The point is, I wound up staying up to watch CSI even though my parents were going to tape it. It was good that I did, because the tape stopped halfway through the episode.
You know, when CSI does an episode that deals with a sexual sub-culture (BDSM, baby play, whatever) everyone makes a huge deal out of it; the episode itself is usually not that bad or shocking when it actually airs. Then there's the occasional episode that has doesn't particularly deal with a deviant sub-culture, and it's extremely squickish. Committed= creepy. Good, but creepy. It kind of scares me that there are people like that in the world.
And of course, Grissom just stood there like a dope. *eyeroll* At this point I don't expect anything else, but... gah. Hello. Sara's got a very sharp object to her throat, so let's just stand here with the good old "mildly concerned" look on our faces, right?
Overall, I really liked it. I can't wait to see the icons people are going to come up with for this one.
Unfortunately, staying up that extra hour means that I'm really, really tired. So tired I have a headache. I hate when that happens. I usually manage to get enough sleep to keep the headaches off, but sometimes I push it too far, and it all goes to hell. Maybe I can grab some sleep after chemistry class.
Gah. Chemistry. DOOOOOOOOM.

Date: 2005-04-29 04:01 pm (UTC)Sounds like a fairly easy job. XD
As for CSI, I heard the spoilers for it were a lot worse (esp. in terms of the 'fantasy rape') -- if so, I'm glad it was toned down. The staring and gold flashes were scary enough.
I wasn't particularly impressed by Grissom wandering off and leaving Sara alone. The most haunting moment/scene that really stuck with me was when she was stumbling out of that room and hanging her hands on the bars. She's gonna need a psychiatrist after this season. - -) Although she's so er... stubborn, I wouldn't be surprised if she refused to see a psyc. x_X

I freaked out and nearly started crying. And then was like, screaming at Grissom GO SEE HER! DON'T JUST STAND THERE LIKE AN IDIOT!
....I think I'm too obsessed.

Date: 2005-04-29 06:18 pm (UTC)*bigass ebil grin* We Canadians got to see it at its regular time on teh Canadian carrier. :-P

I was getting more of a "so scared could hardly move" sort of thing from him, but whatever. :-)
Another plus of last night's ep? The main creepy guy? The one who had pointy thing at Sara's neck?
...He was a regular on 24 last season, but with less hair. :-) So the entire time I was watching and saying, "See? THAT's what happens when you're partners with Jack Bauer! You get your hand chopped off with a fire axe and get shoved in the nuthouse."

But it would have been fun to see him lose his cool for once in regards to someone else- generally he only loses his temper when someone gets the better of him, lol. But then, in my derranged, give it to me OOC mind, maybe he was just standing there because he wanted to watch.
Oh, I am a fucked up child. *facedesk*
